Major League Baseball All-Star Games in Pittsburgh[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

If Major League Baseball All-Star Games in the Los Angeles Area violates WP:NOTDIR, then so does Major League Baseball All-Star Games in Pittsburgh. I say if one stays, they both stay . . . if one is deleted, they both should be deleted. --Andyhi18 (talk) 01:14, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep. This is not WP:LISTCRUFT; see my explanation on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Major League Baseball All-Star Games in the Los Angeles Area. Change to delete. There are individual articles on those games already. Pointless to have this. — Timneu22 · talk 13:33, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete ~~If the explanation for why this isn't listcruft is that it's Pittsburgh rather than the Los Angeles area, I'm not convinced.~~ In both this and the other article, there not much information imparted other than that we have links to articles about the All-Star games that were hosted in those areas. Short version-- the game was played in Pittsburgh in '44, '59, '74, '94 and '06. There is some trivia that's relevant to Pittsburgh itself, some mildly interesting a bicentennial celebration in 1959, and Pittsburghers singing along to O Canada, and some not (the Pirates are "the first team that has not moved to have hosted the game in three different stadiums"). Mandsford 16:03, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete At first I was thinking of a "weak keep" vote, but I just don't see anything so special about having an ASG in Pittsburgh that necessitates a page that simply lists the links with a brief description of each game. --Muboshgu (talk) 20:55, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Was just about to AFD this. Staxringold _talk^contribs 19:06, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete It's superfluous at best. Not to knock Pittsburgh or anything, but I never understood what was so special about the games being in Pittsburgh that it necessitated a separate article. What about the games played in New York or Chicago or St. Louis? A similar article with Los Angeles as the focus was also recently deleted. Bottom line: I don't see anything this article (or any article about ASGs in a particular area) could contain that could differentiate it from the individual game articles. --Highway99 (talk) 03:50, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Per reasons stated above. Darwin's Bulldog (talk) 03:57, 14 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I agree with everyone else. I don't see what is so special about Pittsburgh that they deserve a special article. This article seems to elevate Pittsburgh and/or the Pirates above all other baseball teams and markets/cities. It was probably made by someone who loves the Pirates or Pittsburgh and has no special reason for people outside of that area. Crd721 (talk) 22:27, 14 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: This article's been in existence for 5 years and the best sourcing we can come up with is five sources, two of which are primary sources, a fan site, and another encyclopedia? Umm, no. No justification for this overuse of fair use images, and it all smacks of original research. --Hammersoft (talk) 16:06, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- The "other encyclopaedia" is written by Les Brown, erstwhile television editor for Variety and media critic for the New York Times. You don't have much of a leg to stand on in questioning its reliability. And what's your justification for using "we" here? Where and how did you look for sources? You haven't mentioned doing that at all. Uncle G (talk) 17:03, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

      - Thank you. Then my point stands; if we (the community) haven't been able to find any more sources in five years than what is shown in this article, then this article is very unlikely to ever have significant sources to support it. And Uncle G, the one cite to an encyclopedia supports one sentence only, and that to support a release date of a particular logo. --Hammersoft (talk) 18:46, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
        Can you demonstrate what "thorough attempts" have been made to look for sources in those five years? If you can't, then your argument is just WP:NOEFFORT. DHowell (talk)
Comment We should salvage this article and in order to do that we will need less original research and more verifiable sources. Otherwise, I can see why this article could be deleted. Bossanueva (talk) 22:35, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - There were five references in the article when it was nominated, including a television encyclopedia, so the nominator's claim that "not a single section is referenced" is quite dubious. I've also discovered that there are plenty of contemporary sources, such as the periodicals Broadcasting and Variety, which are not freely available on the web, which cover network advertising campaigns, trademarks, and logos. I am confident that many sources are out there, but I am not confident they will all be found by someone just sitting behind a computer screen, at least not without access to Lexis/Nexis and/or various magazine archives. And information about NBC logos is quite verifiable, at the very least by primary sources such as video recordings and printed advertising materials, as well as numerous independent sources. "NBC peacock" alone gets thousands of book search results to look through, and one can find a few book and magazine sources about the twin trapezoids as well. DHowell (talk)
- If you can find these sources, then source them....all of them. Otherwise, they aren't verfiable or reference and are a page of fan cruft made by a sockpuppet. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 06:20, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Separation from main page helps keep things short enough to be read, presence on Wikipedia adds interest and information. Any sourcing issues seem clearly a "correct-not-kill" matter...

Keep - I've made a modest start at finding some news and book sources for this article, by just from a few things I've found from a couple of Google searches. I've also discovered that there are plenty of contemporary sources, such as the periodicals Broadcasting and Variety, which are not freely available on the web, which cover network advertising campaigns, trademarks, and logos. I am confident that many sources are out there, but I am not confident they will be found by someone just sitting behind a computer screen, at least not without access to Lexis/Nexis and/or various magazine archives. And by the way there were references in the article when it was nominated, even if they were just websites.

Keep. The same comment applies to the 9 other slogans listed for WP:AfD on this log WP:Articles_for_deletion/Log/2010_July_11. This is WP:POPCULTURE. This type of content is what distinguishes Wikipedia from more traditional encyclopedias and there is general consensus (I believe) to encourage this type of content. The slogans are verifiable and factual - and of genuine interest (to some). The logo and slogan/ tagline can be verified at the Internet archive. Finding refs and citations for these slogans is something that can be fixed. WP:GNG states If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to satisfy the inclusion criteria for a stand-alone article. Notability for this type of material can be verified by non-trivial mentions in secondary sources.AWHS (talk) 12:11, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I just did. You're the one who needs to produce some evidence to support your hand-waving assertions. AFD is not cleanup and I'm not seeing any evidence at the article's talk page that you have engaged with the topic per our deletion policy. This just seems to be a superficial drive-by. Colonel Warden (talk) 05:34, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

One reference? That's it? That's all you could find? That shows me the page definitely doesn't meet WP:V. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 07:14, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No, there are many thousands of sources out there. I cited just the first entry because it was the first, not because that was all that is possible. I specifically stated that there were many sources and you have misrepresented my statement. To confirm the truth of my statement, I have added some more sources - easy work which you could have done yourself if you had performed the due diligence required by our deletion process. In your nomination, you stated that the article had no sources. This was also a misrepresentation as the article had two sources at that time, both of which stand up when checked. It seems that you are making false claims due to lack of proper care. This is disruption. Colonel Warden (talk) 09:14, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The burden of finding sources lies on those who insist that they exist. The only hand-waving going on here is that you're trying to assert that finding a single source is enough to assume that "thousands" exist. Please assume good faith and check the tone of your arguments for WP:CIVIL. SnottyWong ^speak 22:06, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Tu quoque. This is not a matter of faith, it is a matter of competence and accuracy. You too misrepresent the facts. I found thousands of sources. I cited first one as a sample and then several more. There were already sources in the article. Please argue from evidence not from faith. Colonel Warden (talk) 06:52, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I would be happy to argue from evidence if you would supply some. If you have thousands of sources at your fingertips, certainly it would be easier to provide a few rather than continuing to argue and avoid the issue. In particular, I think we need some sources that discuss these slogans as a group, not a thousand sources that mention each slogan individually. SnottyWong ^yak 16:04, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have already provided numerous sources and amongst these are sources which discuss multiple slogans. Your demand for exhaustive sourcing is unreasonable when you yourself do no work. Please see WP:BATTLE which indicates that you should not make demands of this sort. See also WP:INSPECTOR and WP:SEP. Colonel Warden (talk) 17:08, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The sources you have provided each discuss 2 or 3 slogans, at best. I have not seen any sources which discuss and analyze "Apple slogans" as a group, where "Apple slogans" is the main subject of the source, or is at least significantly discussed and not just mentioned in passing. You are attempting to substantiate the notability of the slogans by piecing together multiple sources which mention them separately, which is a kind of synthesis. I am not making demands of you, I am simply suggesting that your argument is lacking evidence to back it up, and that if you'd like your argument to make more sense you should probably prove that such sources exist. SnottyWong ^verbalize 17:41, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You are abusing our synthesis policy by making a false claim that the article is constructing a synthetic conclusion from multiple sources. The article does nothing of the kind - it just lists the stated slogans in a matter-of-fact way and there is no conclusion or theory stated. Colonel Warden (talk) 19:00, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:NOTDIR. No doubt sources can be found to substantiate the existence of each of these slogans singularly, however none of the sources found thus far establish the notability of these slogans as a group. Each source listed in the article at this point appears to only talk about one or two of the slogans, usually mentioning them in a largely trivial way. None of the sources are about the collection of slogans as a whole. SnottyWong ^prattle 22:16, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A title change such as you suggest would be performed using the move function, not by deletion. Our deletion policy is that If the article can be fixed through normal editing, then it is not a good candidate for AfD. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Colonel Warden (talk • contribs) 10:06, 13 July 2010

This is a common argument of yours, and it is unhelpful in most cases, including this one. The article is already at AfD, and attempting to invalidate the discussion every time someone suggests that the article be moved, merged, or redirected (basically anything other than keep or delete) is not going to accomplish anything. The opinion of SharkxFanSJ is that the article should be deleted, but he is offering an alternate solution to the problem and a possible option of keeping all or part of the article under a different title. Perhaps you should review the AfD Guide to Deletion more thoroughly, particularly the part which shows that !votes other than Keep or Delete are perfectly valid. SnottyWong ^converse 15:54, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The point of AFD is to control the use of the delete function which is specially restricted. This is a simple binary decision which becomes quite confused if it is muddled with content-editing considerations which have infinite variety. In this case, User:SharkxFanSJ seems to suggest that we should move some or all of the content to the new title, History of Apple advertising. This is a reasonable suggestion but would not require use of the delete function. The point of the policy cited is that, when we are are able to improve the article by ordinary editing then we do not delete it. If we delete the article then it is gone and resurrection is complicated by the loss of the edit history and the resulting lack of attribution per our licence. Please see WP:MAD for a fuller explanation. So, I comment on this in detail lest the closing admin misunderstand the headline !vote of Delete and not realise that the user is, in fact, suggesting that we retain some or all of the material, which would be a variety of Keep. Misunderstandings of this sort are sadly common here and so you can expect to see this explained repeatedly. Colonel Warden (talk) 17:01, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If the point of AfD is a binary decision, then you should probably gain consensus to change the instructions at Wikipedia:Guide to deletion#Recommendations and outcomes, which offers quite a few different decisions than keep or delete. For the record, this editor's !vote was to Delete, first and foremost, with a suggestion that it might be possible to salvage some of the content by moving it to an article with a different scope. I don't see why this is so confusing for you. SnottyWong ^gossip 17:44, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Because move and delete are contrary functions - trying to have your cake and eat it. If we want to do something with this article then we just use ordinary editing functions. Simples. Colonel Warden (talk) 18:49, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:V - almost entirely unverifiable. Claritas § 18:44, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Given that every entry that I've looked at has been easy to verify, your vote seems absurdly counterfactual. Please provide some examples of unverifiable content and explain why we can't just remove that and leave the verified material. Our editing policy, states clearly that we should try to preserve what we can. Colonel Warden (talk) 18:49, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Since you have only added 9 referenced to the 100+ (but probably more) slogans on the page, it seems like you are doing alot of hand waving then actually adding these references you have claimed to have found. If you have references, add them already...otherwise, you are just putting up alot of smoke and mirrors to cover up a really bad excuse for an article. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 19:08, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Is there some particular slogan that you would like sourcing? Sources are not required for everything in Wikipedia - only for disputed or extraordinary statements. Many or most articles in Wikipedia have fewer sources than this one and we don't delete them all - we retain them for improvement in accordance with our editing policy. Colonel Warden (talk) 19:36, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Um...all of them? Otherwise, they are unsourced, can't be confirmed and should be removed. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 20:26, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'd actually be satisfied if you produced a source or two which establish the notability of Apple advertising slogans in general, rather than producing a thousand sources which prove the existence of each individual slogan. Such sources would prove that this article is not in violation of WP:NOTDIR, and therefore should be kept. Sourcing every last entry, however, is not a necessary prerequisite for keeping an article at AfD, Neutralhomer. The only sources we need are those that prove the notability of the subject per WP:GNG. SnottyWong ^yak 20:54, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'll interpret your silence as an admission that you cannot find any such sources as described in my comments above. SnottyWong ^chatter 18:50, 14 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No, it just means there limit to how much time I'm prepared to waste on this volunteer effort - please see WP:BATTLE and WP:INSPECTOR. But I have added yet another source which, as part of a general history of Apple, lists a bunch of slogans in much the same style that we do here. It's Alex Brooks (2006), Happy 30th Birthday, 1996 – 2006, World of Apple — Q.E.D. Colonel Warden (talk) 08:29, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per lack of verifiable sources. If we were to remove all the unsourced ones (which we should immediately do if this does get kept anyways), we wouldn't have much of anything. Anything remotely useable (and just listing slogans isn't actually a narrative that's useful) can be incorporated into Apple Inc. advertising or even Apple design motifs if it fits. Some slogans can be notable ("Think Different" as we can see) but that's better here that done this way. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 01:45, 14 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Good finds. It seems that we have a large number of articles about Apple advertising and that this list is a navigation spin off from them per WP:SIZE. As several slogans have their own article such as Get a Mac and Think Different, the list serves a useful navigational purpose. Colonel Warden (talk) 06:26, 14 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'll just say let's agree to disagree on whether there's a size problem on the other articles, but I'm glad to be helpful. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 07:18, 14 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The point is that the articles should be considered as a set. If some consolidation or restructuring seems appropriate then this can be performed by ordinary editing - merger and the like. It is our editing policy to keep the good bits such as the sourcing which the list contains. Colonel Warden (talk) 10:13, 14 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

delete: wikipedia is not a directory. No sources to establish the notability of this list topic. And even then, the entries are inappropriate, borderlining on promotional material for the company covered. 24.114.232.33 (talk) 16:03, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Type almost any one of these slogans into a Google News Archive search and I'll bet you come up with a few reliable sources for each one. Especially the iPod and iPhone ones. Colonel Warden only came up with 9 sources because he probably only had time to source the first 9 entries. And the notability of Apple's slogans as a whole should be as plainly obvious as is the notability of the advertising campaigns of any large company. DHowell (talk) 05:55, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Our core policy states "Editors might object if you remove material without giving them time to provide references. It has always been good practice to make reasonable efforts to find sources oneself that support such material, and cite them." Please tell us of the reasonable efforts which you have made in accordance with this and our other policies. Colonel Warden (talk) 08:32, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Sources are trivially findable. Neutralhomer, this is not it works. If you can't be bothered to ((sofixit)), then tag it ((cn)). "Afd is not for cleanup". You don't challlenge people to "provide me with those 87 sources or else I demand this article should be deleted", this is considered disruptive.

Merge to Apple Inc. advertising. I note that we do have several other articles like this - Coca-Cola slogans, for example - but I don't think any of them are really encyclopaedic content. All this is is what the name says - a list of slogans. This content would be better covered as part of the general article on Apple advertising, which could mention the most notable and influential slogans without indiscriminately listing every single one. Robofish (talk) 15:06, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Apple advertising slogans are a notable part of pop culture and a list of then fully comports with the WP:LIST policy. Admittedly, the article lacks sourcing, but that's a separate issue. Wikipedia's verifiability policy allows (if not encourages) the deletion of most of the article pending proper sourcing, but the topic is notable and a list should be kept even if it has to be stubbed for the time being.--Pink Bull 23:12, 18 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. For a number of reasons.To a degree this is WP:POPCULTURE. This type of content is what distinguishes Wikipedia from more traditional encyclopedias and there is general consensus (I believe) to encourage this type of content. The slogans are verifiable and factual - and of genuine interest. Look at the Internet archive for the ten network. Finding refs and citations for these slogans is going to take work but that can be fixed. Some good and verifiable / independent sources even mention controversy [4] so therefore I believe that this is WP:NOTABLE. The same comment applies to the List of Nine Network slogans which is also up for WP:AfD. AWHS (talk) 12:08, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I picked one entry at random and checked it, the "Keep Your Eye On The 0" and had no difficulty verifying it at [5], so I will add a "Cite web".

The result was speedy delete on WP:BLP grounds. The timing of this is just blatant. Mosaheed (talk · contribs) creates a puff piece in November 2009. The fraud trial hits the news on 2009-12-12. One day later, Mosaheedvictim (talk · contribs) is here turning this into a request for Wikipedia readers to telephone the police. Then the two of them edit war about it. The reports of the trial, on CBC News, the Globe and Mail, and elsewhere, say nothing useful for a biography. Obviously, given the accusations, no content supplied by Mosaheed (talk · contribs) can be considered to be even remotely trustworthy.

Charles Anaghwilliam[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Sending this to AfD rather than speedy or prop'd because if I'm seeing this correctly I'd like to recommend not just deletion but salting. Not only can I find no references myself via Google News/Books/Web for teh person (other than WP mirrors, etc.) but of the sources shown, the ones I can search via Google Books also do not include the name of the author. Looking at the article history, it was created and largely maintained by two accounts that have edited only this article and articles linking to it, at least a COI, but quite possibly part of the hoax I believe this to be. Looking at the talk page for the original author, I see an indication that it was marked for speedy deletion because of G4 (prior deletion), I don't know if that was AfD or what. Looking at the article on the company that the article claims the subject was an investor in, I see that George Martin's partner in building that company was someone with an entirely different name.

Anyway, I think it's not just an unsourcable article, but an unsourcable and likely hoax article that to all appearences has been deleted at least twice in the past. j⚛e decker ^talk 16:07, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Delete or Redirect to DWDM-FM (if we can find WP:RS): While licensed stations with their own programming are presumed notable, there is no evidence here that this station has ever been anything but a rebroadcaster without its own history or programming. Not only are there not that many references, but there are Google pages with different frequencies and cities for this callsign. The current version of the Wikipedia page Eagle Broadcasting Corporation implies that DXDM is basically a relay for 95.5 DWDM-FM Quezon City. Older versions of the Catholic Media Network on Wikipedia used to show DXDM as being "Spirit FM 88.7 - DXDM 88.7 Kidapawan City, North Cotabato". And [9] / [10] shows it as "88.7 Kidapawan/Daang Maharlika". The 95.5 webpage is especially unhelpful — it refuses to show anything unless you agree to an Adobe license. My guess is that this station used to be a Catholic Media Network relay, and is now a Dazzling Music relay that should be redirected to DWDM-FM, but I haven't even found enough sources to do that, and the DWDM-FM article itself claims that station is off the air. Replacing the article with "DXDM is a radio station in the Philippines that may or may not be a relay of someone else, and nobody knows what city or frequency it's really on." doesn't really make sense. --Closeapple (talk) 22:13, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Now that I'm working on the piece, I see that Likhterman is the subject of a book published in Moscow in 2002: A Man of Light. The Centennial of Professor Boleslav V. Likhterman.

Weak keep. The article certainly needs some clean-up but the subject does appear notable. There was a detailed biographical article about him[14] (in Russian) in 2003 in a webmagazine 'Notes on Jewish History'. I have added it to the list of refs. That article also mentions that in 2002 a book of memoirs (recollections by various other medical researchers about his life and work) about him was published in Russia, dedicated to his 100th anniversary. The book was already listed in the References section (A Man of Light: For the Centennial of Professor Boleslav V. Likhterman). Ordinarily, a book like that would certainly justify a solid keep, but it was edited by his son, Leonid Likhterman (apparently also a notable medical researcher), which somewhat depreciates its value as an independent source. Still, according to this library catalog[15], the book is 495 pages long, so I assume it includes chapters by quite a few people who are independent of the subject. Also, I added a ref[16] to a 1967 obituary about him in a Russian medical journal (of which, however, he was an editor, which again somewhat deprecates the value of this ref). Still, all in all, I think there is enough here to pass WP:BIO, even if the case is not strong. Nsk92 (talk) 06:05, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep (but move to Creme Puff (cat)). Anyone who has ever owned a cat or known someone who did would consider it remarkable that a cat lived 38 years, and the fact that it was written about by Guinness and profiled on CNN essentially meets the requirement for significant coverage in reliable and verifiable sources. It appears that the reason for deletion isn't that the cat is non-notable, but rather that "this will likely never be more than a stub". Sorry, that's not a reason to delete.

Comment Although we have some articles about subneighborhoods (such as Astor Row) in Harlem (which is, in itself, a neighborhood in Manhattan, one of the boroughs of New York City), I don't see any reason why a list of subneighborhoods couldn't be in the article about Harlem itself. Mandsford 15:23, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Harlem, until the sub neighborhoods start to have subsections about most of them, then we break them out into articles, then create a list.Keep i just did some research, we have some articles on other neighborhoods, i added them. if someone can provide references showing the redlinked neighborhoods are notable, then i have no problem with this list.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 16:17, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

to clarify, even if the redlinked neighborhoods never have references, and get deleted, the remaining ones are still notable, so i think this should stand even if the content of the original article is removed. and thanks for acknowledging what i did (not too hard of course).Mercurywoodrose (talk) 21:51, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Kalyan Group[edit]

Contested prod. Textile and jewelry company in India. Slightly promotional, all references are primary except for one in Malayalam which looks like a press release. Delete unless someone can come up with adequate sources, even if they are not in English. Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 12:52, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Kerala dailies have less news on business. So even yoy exclude banks, so have less news articles publised in Malyalam dailes. Textile and jewelry companies are same like Tata and Ambani. Only change is that these people sell oil, polyster, car etc. It may have less prominence beacuse Kerala is not a business society but a remitance society. So you can't find less news in newspapers and websites.

List of ecchi anime[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

The list fails WP:SALT as it contains an overly vague inclusion criteria with little not no bases on reliable sources. Ecchi is a Japanese term derived from the letter "H" in the word hentai and can mean anything from "sexy", "lewd", to near pornographic; but it is generally used as a synonymy for "perverted". Because of this broadness, very few reliable sources actually uses the term, and will almost ever use the term to describe a particular anime. Thus every series listed is based on the personal view point and interpretations of the term by editors who added the series to the list and are therefore unverifiable. —Farix (t | c) 16:59, 4 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. As the creator of this list, the nominator was kind enough to notify me of this AFD. I encountered this list as a list-style article in the category namespace: the now-deleted Category:Ecchi anime. I created this article merely to move the list into the correct namespace, and since I know nothing about the topic I have no opinion on whether it should be deleted. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 17:13, 4 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - But I do see the term used in reliable-source reviews, though admittedly more often in reviews of manga than anime, and its most common use is "this is more ecchi than hentai." Reliable sources also do try to pick out the distinguishing features of the two terms, making the subject of notable interest. It is certainly not over-broad in itself, given the term's use -- the main issue is sourcing and original research, which it seems to me can be solved by insisting that nothing be on the list without a source calling the anime that. Also, I note that we have the long-standing category Category:Ecchi anime and manga. —Quasirandom (talk) 17:16, 4 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The category has the exact same problems as the list. I'm about to go through the cat and remove any articles that are not supported by reliable sources. I expect the category to be nearly empty after the sweep. —Farix (t | c) 11:26, 5 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, Category:Ecchi anime and manga has the same problem as this list and the previous cat. Unless "ecchi" is used by japanese anime/manga producers in a precise fashion, like part of a rating system, or is used by reviewers to describe it accurately, its like having a "list of kinky movies", which wouldnt stand. I can see the value of such a list for people searching for anime with sexual content, but thats not what WP is for. If the list can be cleaned of subjects without sources indicating "ecchi" content, and if there are any left, then i guess it can stay, but i dont like it.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 16:09, 5 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment from what seems to be used on the net... "hentai" would be pornographic, while "ecchi" is erotic, which means use of both of these terms are jargon, and should be replaced by "pornographic" and "erotic" respectively. 76.66.195.196 (talk) 04:20, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - I'm not an expert on anime, but as I understand it, this term is too vague and contestable to serve as the inclusion criteria for a list or category. List of anime with sexual content would be acceptable, but I don't think there's a clear way of determining whether a given anime is 'ecchi' or not. Robofish (talk) 14:17, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The question with that is how much "sexual content" must an anime have before it can be added to the list. Pany shots? Nudity of any kind? Skimpy bathing suits? A bath scene? What about a long running anime series with only one sex seen but no other sexual content. What about a series like The Slayers which makes frequent jokes about the lead character's breast size and another character with an outfit so revealing, she would get arrested for indecent exposure. —Farix (t | c) 15:06, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep If the product is advertised with that term, or those that review it put it in that category, then stick it on the list. We already have a Wikipedia category for that. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Ecchi_anime_and_manga And the article ecchi gives a clear definition of the defining characteristics. Going to nominate those too? Does anyone doubt this is a real genre? Dream Focus 04:34, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- "If the product is advertised with that term" But so far, no one has been able to back up that claim with reliable sources. And going through Category:Ecchi anime and manga, it's clear that most reviewers generally avoid the term altogether. In fact, going through A-I, I've only found four series were a single reviewer did use the term to describe the series. Also, the existence of a category doesn't justify the existence of a list, especially when both suffer the same issues of verifiability and original research. —Farix (t | c) 15:21, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete while Ecchi is likely a notable topic (if its article can ever be expanded beyond its current WP:DICDEF state), trying to maintain a list of series that fit the label would be overly broad and beyond the scope of a list. There isn't a finite number of ecchi series, nor is the current number of known ecchi series what I would consider small. As with any genre topic, the main article should highlight well-sourced examples to draw on, rather than creating an overly broad list of all "possible" examples that tend to be rife more with WP:OR and personal opinions than actual facts. Such a list is in the end difficult to maintain. It is for the very broad topics such as these that categories are the more ideal solution. -- AnmaFinotera (talk · contribs) 13:27, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, AnmaFinotera convinces me -- coupled with the fact that reliable sources often can be found disagreeing over whether a given work is ecchi, both on the tamer and more hentai edges of this hard-to-define concept. Better would be putting effort into beefing up Ecchi, and in the meantime delete this. —Quasirandom (talk) 14:02, 14 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Here is an example of how much original research is going on with the entries on this list. There has been several attempts by IPs to add Highschool of the Dead.

Why are you deleting the director if his movies are on wikipedia? I noticed his name was in the movie articles and tagged but he did not have his own page. I am not Deon Taylor, I am not the photographer of Deon Tayler, etc. I am not a shameless self promoter, I am adding the director up of a small indie horror following. There are links to his name on the official list for NBAEL, his own personal interview in this own words for citation purposes, his bio at IMDB.com. Why is that not official enough?

I don't know what SPA is. I know that COI means that people assume I know Deon Taylor because I uploaded the photo and clicked I had rights to it so it wouldn't be deleted in 7 days. I deleted it and re-uploaded hopefully under proper terms but it says it will still be deleted. I won't put a photo up anymore but I am not the photographer and am not affiliated with the director.

~~Delete~~. I don't think there's a COI between CenobiteCreep and the subject, if the photo of Taylor was just uploaded with the wrong license terms. The problem with the article is lack of sourcing: IMDB, another movie website, and one line in a NBAE roster are all this article is hinging on. Unless he's gotten significant coverage in an independent reliable source, then he doesn't deserve an article—at least, not until later in his career, when his films go on to get him that coverage. —C.Fred (talk) 18:41, 4 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep (or worst case, incubate), due to the presentation of new sources. There is a Sac Bee story on the impending national release of Chain Letter. It's eight paragraphs about Taylor, his film, and his company, so I'd say that's significant coverage. The film is due for an August release, so I'd say to err on the side of caution now and keep the article; we can always revisit in November 2010 or February 2011 if we find we've mis-assessed. —C.Fred (talk) 18:53, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I proposed deletion of this back in March, and the prod was removed with the article is virtually unsourced; but the entity is most certainly notable. I do understand the logic, but sadly, it was not improved. It has a single source, and I am unable to find others - of course, it is possible/likely that there are sources in another language, and per Wikipedia:Systemic bias, it would be great if others could add such. However, as it stands, I do not feel we can accurately present information on the company, without references to show notability, per WP:GNG, WP:V, WP:ONESOURCE. I also note that it is a holding company, and according to the only source we have, it is intended to incorporate others in the future - so there is an element of WP:CRYSTAL here, too.

A previous version of this was deleted via a proposed deletion (proposed by myself) with the reasoning " No reliable sources; all primary-sourced; no claim to notability". This replacement version may be re-creation; it might also be considered CSD as being overtly advert-like, and needing a 'fundamental rewrite' to become encyclopaedic, but as it has been recreated, I feel that AfD is necesary to document conclusions. I therefore suggest deletion because;

It depends entirely on the primary source
It is not neutral, and contains claims that cannot be referenced through reliable sources
It would require a fundamental rewrite to become encyclopaedic

Thomas Peters (blogger)[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This page needs to be revamped from scratch, beginning with its name, if it should exist at all. As several users have expressed, Thomas Peters does not meet the notability criteria for a living person. One of the sources ("The Catholic Club) only mention Peters and his blog in order to discredit Peters for having petty debates on his blog. This is a strike against his notability, not a credit towards it. Other sources are lesser known blogs with one comment or less on average (such as St. Michael Society), not showing significant coverage. Still others are not independent but are affiliates promoting Peters' blog (such as the Catholic Vote Action link, St. Michael Society link, etc.). This issue leads to a greater problem. If the page is to be rewritten -- and I'm not sure it should -- the page should be about Peters' blog itself (American Papist) with Peters maybe meriting a subsection and his name redirecting to the blog Wikipedia entry. Alternatively, the page could be deleted outright and recreated on a sister Wiki rather than Wikipedia. Darthoutis (talk) 14:33, 27 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep . the references are enough to support the importance of the blog, but as he has done a few more things than the blog, the article should be on him. This is always a dilemma, and I think we should always incline to the person, about whom there is more likely to be additional importance in the future & so the opportunity to develop the article. 17:13, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

I think this discussion would benefit from an evaluation of specific sources. I've already identified examples of the problematic sources, which either don't show significant coverage or are not independent sources but affiliates promoting Peters and his blog.Darthoutis (talk) 16:02, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I also think that Peters' isolated appearances on a couple of cable news interviews are insufficient to meet Wikipedia's allowance for people likely to remain high profile. Although Wikipedia does grant notability to people with a short history of coverage, that liberty only applies under condition that the subject already has a high profile. Peters himself, nor his blog, has ever been the subject of any major news stories, and I'm not sure Peters' appearances as a consultant for a couple of cable TV interviews count as high profile. The more I think about this, the more I believe this page (whether about Peters or his blog) better belongs on a sister Wiki, which is more conducive to specialized subjects. If Peters or his blog ever does become notable for a general encyclopedia like Wikipedia, we can always recreate his page. That is what deletion review is for when "new significant information comes to light and the information in the deleted article would be useful to write a new article."

Comment – I see nothing in the article that points to the notability of the books.

Keep He's published fiction in several leading journals (Callaloo, Concho River, Antietam); some of the other publications are puff, but that shouldn't take away from the significance of the more notable work.

Weak Keep as required by the GNG guideline--there are 2 acceptable 3rd party articles at least about him and his work. The keep is only a weak one because I think he is not yet notable. One of the two books is just a collection of previously published stories, and he has not actually won any awards. I think we should stop using the GNG and insist on actual notability in some objective fashion according to the field. Neither of his two books are in any way notable, being held by only a few libraries (<10).The author of a notable book is notable, though,because what fundamentally makes an author notable is having published notable works--what else could he be notable for as an author? The references used to support the notability of the books will always support the author also. Even authors who have not written a notable book can be notable as an author on other bases, as he would be if his work were included in major anthologies.

I do see where Jezhotwells is coming from in the comment above. One could argue that the two refs regarding Half Moon are more about the institution than the man. And although he has a wide range of acting credits, they don't seem to be lead roles (at least those found online, which obviously tend to "recentism" and fail to take account of a long career).

List of american animated feature films[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Delete - redundant to several existing lists and categories. PROD removed without comment by article's creator. Are You The Cow Of Pain? (talk) 21:35, 4 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

keep - This list have never been created before is list is meant to document only American Animated feature films and be free of thos forgain features that plagues the Animated feature list. Also get rid of stop-motion film as calling them animated films I personally think is misleading. The other list that deals with American Animated features deels only with them in partal such as the Disney Animated feature list My main basis for this list is Jerry Beck is book and "my" list is correct up too 1970. The year 1971 and beyhound will be more pain in neck as we will run into films that were relesed to theaters, shown on TV or released strigt to Video/DVD. Everything currently inside the taple is correct but every thing that is not still need a cleanup. DoctorHver (talk) 22:19, 4 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Rather than spending so much time on a separate redundant list, why not for instance convert List of animated feature-length films into a table that's sortable by country? Are You The Cow Of Pain? (talk) 03:07, 5 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

AS I said this is fair from redundant list, only thing that is strange (redundant) about this delete nominee is that it is only your fourth overall edit from your 2 day old account (contributions), so admin should take that into account when he makes the verdit. I would say that American Animated films diverse better than having no article on their own since they have been the bechmark of Animated films around the world. The list could also solve the problem over at the Disney Animated feature list as people that don't have clue comes in there often and add films that don't belong such as Anastasia. The problem over at Animated feature films list, is bigger than I can handle of my own as there lots of forgain features that don't have any vaild socurce that exist so it is actually better to make seprate list for American (USA) films only, also there buncy of morons like (Esn), that dont agree with any improvement sugestion, Im just dumfonded that he dont seems ot see that list is very unreaderfreindly mislinding and confusing. on side note I know that Jerry Beck is book include forgain films but those are only document that makes American theaters. BUt THink is only fair that it exist on the internet list that makes up for Jerry's "Error" and focus only on American Animated Feture films (Films produced by USA citizen).

Delete List of animated feature-length films covers this content, and the separating out of US films seems redundant to this list, as the films there show their national origin (thats a good addition to the list to distinguish it from a category). I would suggest that the article creator and anyone else (including myself) be sure that all the films which are on our debated list which arent categorized as "american animated films" are put in Category:American animated films, as some are not. I can also see the value of a further category of American animated feature films, to distinguish from shorts. the various studios have such categories. I think userfying and then checking the films for their categorization would be nice. also, the aforementioned list needs extensive work anyway, so lets get that list cleaned up before considering sub lists that dont add content. I understand if the article creator wants american films highlighted in some way, and maybe they could petition someone to make the list sortable if they dont have that skill (i wouldnt know how or have the time to do it).Mercurywoodrose (talk) 06:53, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete with reservations The article is a mess. It is in need of dire neutral editing, however, one of the links at PicassoMio gives us this as a portion of an artist biography on the site:

The artist's many SOLO EXHIBITIONS include: 2001 - Retrospective, Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes, Santiago, Chile. - Galeria de Talca, Talca, Chile. 1998 - Commenoz Gallery, Key Biscane, USA. 1995 - Talca University, Talca. - Municipal Gallery, Osorno, Chile. 1990 - Providencia Cultural Institute, Santiago. 1987 - Museo Lyon, Valparaiso, Chile. 1985 - Galeria Praxis, Santiago. 1984 Galeria La Pluma, Bogota, Colombia. 1983 - Museo de Medellin, Colombia. - "Barcia en el Paisaje" (?Barcia in the Landscape?), Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes, Santiago. 1981 - Museo Luis Angel Arango, Bogota. 1980 - Banco de Fomento, Valparaiso. - Galeria de Pintores Andinos, Bogota. - Salon del Banco de la Republica, Bogota. 1977 - Gallery Classic, Beverly Hills, USA. 1975 - Galeria Fidel Angulo, Santiago. 1974 - Museo Municipal de Bellas Artes, Valparaiso. 1970 - Galeria Michelena, Caracas, Venezuela. 1969 - Casa de la Cultura, Ministerio de Educacion, Santiago. 1966 - Sala Calicanto, Santiago. - Sala Nahuel, Santiago. 1965 -North American Institute of Chile, Santiago. 1962 - Sala del Banco de Chile, Santiago.

The following MUSEUMS have examples of Barcia's work - Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes, Santiago, Chile. - Concepcion University, Chile. - Museo Nacional de Caracas. - Museo de Medellin, Colombia. - Denver Museum, Colorado, USA. - Museo Nacional de Rio de Janeiro, Brasil. - Museo Luis Angel Arango, Bogota. - Museo de Arte Moderno de Bogota.

Throughout his career, Barcia received numerous AWARDS including: 1990 First Prize, Pintando Valparaiso 1989 First Prize, Salon Entel, Santiago 1976 First Prize, National Competition, Museo de Arte Contemporaneo, Santiago 1975 National Critic's Prize 1975 Honorary mention.

Casa de la Cultura, Ã?uñoa, Santiago 1962 Honorary mention, Nacional Salon, Santia

Panic (company)[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

From speedy. Does not appear to be notable as it lacks second-party refs. However... there is a category Category:Panic software which has seven bluelinked articles. So I think a company that has seven products with articles might itself be notable. Hard to find refs, but "panic" is a fairly common term so this makes it hard. I do believe that the company is probably not notable, but it does deserve an AfD. Herostratus (talk) 04:12, 4 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep(for now). The blue links in the category seem to have notability established, so this company should too. However, due to the name of the company, all I can find when I search for sources are a bunch of Douglas Adams references, however, I am no good at finding sources anyway. I would say keep, tag as needing sources, give a little bit for sources to be gathered, and if none can be gathered, then we'll address the AfD again at that time. --Fbifriday (talk) 05:18, 4 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
